Build in Hevron and Gush Etzion in Response to Murder

Communications Minister Gil'ad Erdan proposed, Monday evening, that Israel respond to the murder of three teenaged yeshiva students by announcing a construction program that would include Hevron, next to the place where their bodies were found, Monday evening, and the Gush Etzion bloc of Judean Jewish communities, where they learned, according to a Tuesday report by the Yisrael Hayom daily.

Erdan's proposal came at a cabinet meeting that ended without a decision on a government reaction to the murder. The meeting is expected to resume on Tuesday.
